    That says more about ECU than Dayton IMO.
    ECU doesn't fit in the American Athletic Conference. I hate the idea of forcing a school out, but ECU doesn't fit.

          We jumped off that train before it ran off the rails. Enjoy oblivion with your new buddy Belmont and its 1-8 NCAA tournament record.

              Great and, I mean, GREAT add!

              They check every box!

              Now go get Murray, Arlington and Little Rock and pass the A10, AAC and Mountain West as the best non-P6.

                    George Orwell was a hobo.
                    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Had we kept football, we would have eventually gotten into a conference that actually played football at the level we were and it would have been easier to build based on that. Having the Valley abandon FBS/D1A hurt WSU quite a bit.
                      We did barely beat KSU the last time we played them, so perhaps we were about equal.

                      That does not change the fact that your comparison to our situation and KSU's situation is ridiculous. THEY WERE IN THE BIG 12 [or whatever it was going by then)

                      There is absolutely no guarantee we would have got in a commensurate conference to the level we were attempting to play. 1 because of geography. 2 because there was little or no interest in the program. 3 because the entire athletic department was near bankruptcy.

                      This city is a basketball city. Always has been and always will be.

                        They think the MVC presidents would vote to spend money to send teams to Arlington? Did they forget it's bus or die for them?

                              Jon Rothstein's Preseason Top 45:

                              Loyola Chicago #34

                              Belmont #42

                              Wichita State #44

                                Drake would, so would UNI, Loyola and maybe that other new team, Valpo. Bradley probably would as well. Hard no's from the rest. At best, its a 5-5 tie.

                                one of the great adantages of private schools is the athletic departments don't really have to send a check to the school to pay for an athletes tuition, room and board. Public schools athletic departments have to pay for everything. It's one of the reasons you see funny numbers on those athletic budget pages. It leaves a little more money for airfare
